Will my Breasts Sag More After Another Pregnancy?

My husband and I would like another child sometime in the next 3 years. I would love to get my breast augmentation as soon as possible but I'm worried how the pregnancy would affect them. My breasts after my son are less full and sagging. Will this happen again after the next pregnancy?

Breast implants and lift before getting pregnant.

Your breasts are likely to sag after the pregnancy especially since you have seen it happen to yourself in the past.

An individual seeking augmentation may be in her early twenties before starting a family, after one or more pregnancies, or after completing her family.

The effect of pregnancy will vary from woman to woman

It is difficult to determine what effect pregnancy will have on your breasts. Some women tell me that there are varying effects from one prgnancy to the next. As long as you chose an appropriate sized implant and determine whether you would benefot from a breast lift or not, you may chose to postpone until after your pregnancy. Best of luck. Dr Edwards

Wait until after the pregnancy

Every woman reacts differently with pregnancy and weight changes. I would suspect that your breasts would act like they acted with the other pregnancies. I would advise waiting until after your last pergnancy.

Breasts could sag more after pregnancy

Hello, If you are planning on more kids, soon maybe wait until after the children are set. You might want a breast lift as opposed to just breast implants if things are sagging quite a bit.
